Understanding Neutralisation Reactions

Neutralization is the chemical reaction between an acid and a base that produces a salt and water. For example, hydrochloric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to form sodium chloride and water. The word equation for neutralization is acid + base → salt + water. Some applications of neutralization include using it in toothpaste, for indigestion, and to reduce soil acidity. An experiment was conducted to investigate the neutralization between hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide using an indicator that changed color from dark blue to red, confirming neutralization occurred.

Neutralisation

Prepared by: Cik Soh Pea Ling


1. Neutralisation is the chemical reaction which takes
place when an acid and an alkali react with each
other to form a salt and water only.

Acid + Alkali  salt + water

2. Example of Neutralisation:
Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide  sodium chloride + water

Hydrochloric acid + calcium hydroxide  calcium chloride + water


Explain neutralisation in your own word

State the word equation for neutralisation

Alkali + Acid  Salt + water

Sulphuric acid + sodium hydroxide


 sodium sulphate + water
Applications of Neutralisation

1. Tooth-paste
2. Indigestion
3. Calcium hydroxide used to reduce the
acidity of the soil
4. Sting by a bee—formic acid into the skin
--- ammonia solution applied
neutralise the alkali
Aim:
To investigate Neutralisation between
hydrochloric acid and sodium
hydroxide
Materials:
0.5M hydrochloric acid, 0.5M sodium
hydroxide, universal indicator

Apparatus:
Burette, conical flask, pipette, retort
stand and clamp, white tile.
Diagram:

Neutralisation (cm3)
Change in colour Dark blue to red
Conclusion:

The sodium hydroxide solution is neutralised


by dilute hydrochloric acid to form sodium
chloride and water only.

Hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide  sodium chloride + water
